When I had made the prediction, I hadn’t seen every film nominated, but I did by the time the Globes aired. I stand firm on my choice for Up in the Air. The hype for that film was right. The Hurt Locker was just as worthy, even according to Cameron himself. Avatar is an excellent version of Transformers. It’s fluff, not Best Picture.

Best Picture, Musical/Comedy

The Hangover was the only true comedy in the category and deserved the win.

It’s nice to see something that most people had seen to win an award, but this makes me worry for the Oscars. The Hangover was a great comedy, but I still think that (500) Days of Summer was a more complete film. It wasn’t so much of a Comedy and based on that alone, I think The Hangover was the only true comedy there. I’m definitely not upset about the win.

This probably shocked me the most. I thought the Meryl Streep vote would have been split, allowing Sandra Bullock to come up the middle. Somehow, she managed to win yet again. If she had one nomination, I would have chosen her, but even a split vote can’t stop her.

My guess is because she played four different roles on the same show, people think she’s a great actress. I used to watch the show, but didn’t make it to the end of the first season. I wasn’t a huge fan.

I thought this was the year of NPH, but I’m very happy with John Lithgow’s win. It was such a chilling performance. NPH will be back, but this was the only year that Lithgow could have won for him pitch perfect Trinity Killer.

I’m surprised, but I agree. Chloe Sevingy is the reason Big Love is interesting. Without her, they’d be able to live their lives conflict free and who wants that?

It was a good show overall. The Oscars can take note on how quickly they go to the awards. No time wasted with long intros or excessive speeches. The only thing I noticed this year was people were quicker to list names. That’s got to be the most unentertaining thing possible. They need to find some way around it, like have the names listed behind them and just let them talk.

I’m worried about the Oscars though. Will they be trying to make up for last year by giving the Best Picture to Avatar as well? They want people to watch, so they might lean towards box office rather than quality. We’ll see, but hopefully they can put together a tight, quick and clean show like the Globes this year.

And hopefully my score is a little better.

The Hangover was the only true comedy in the category and deserved the win.

Full disclosure: I haven’t seen all the nominees. That doesn’t seem to make much of a difference when making predictions like this, whether it’s the Globes or the Oscars. In the end it’s all a popularity contest, but most of the time they’re popular for a good reason.

I’ve seen most of the TV shows that were nominated, so we’ll start there. I’ve pulled out mini-series because, aside from the fact that I haven’t seen one, I don’t understand why the category still exists.

Mad Men will likely win the category. It’s been a favourite of awards shows since it’s inception. They’re the cool kids and I suspect they will stay that way. I would really like to see Dexter win, though. The show gets better and better with every episode and it’s the only show I can’t wait to see.

Mad Men is the obvious choice for best TV drama. It's the new Sopranos and will likely win this category until they're off the air.

30 Rock will likely win. It’s the other cool kid. I could see Glee stealing it as well. Personally, I think The Office has earned it more than anyone else. They’ve managed to sustain the awkward yet likable feeling of the show over so many years. I’m loving Modern Family, but it’ll have its chance in coming years.

Jon Hamm will probably take this one. He’s been in the public eye a lot more recently, so people will actually like to see him get on stage this time. Don Draper is one of the deepest and most conflicted characters on television and this season was no different. Michael C. Hall definitely deserves to win one of these years. His ability to make a cold, hard killer so lovable is an achievement in itself and he should get his recognition for it.

Alec Baldwin will likely take this again. Movie stars turned TV stars always take the awards. I would like to see Thomas Jane take it. His pathetic yet likable man-whore on Hung seems like he’s always on the cusp of a suicidal jump in the river, but always seems to pick himself back up and pull through.

This one is really hard to pick. I’m going to say Edie Falco as more of a make-up vote for her work on The Sopranos. I wouldn’t be shocked if it was given to Tina Fey, since the TV world seems to love her so.

Neil Patrick Harris has been getting a lot of attention this year. Between his award show hosting stints, his web series Dr. Horrible or for his role as Barney on How I Met Your Mother, NPH has become the guy to watch. John Lithgow really deserves it though. His role at the Trinity Killer on Dexter was so chilling, I can never look at him the same way again.

I haven’t seen Precious or Up in the Air yet, but from what I’m hearing everywhere, it’ll go to Up in the Air. Since the Toronto International Film Festival I’ve heard about how Up in the Air is a lock to win. I tried to get tickets at the festival and it was nearly impossible. The rush line was to big for a normal human being to take. I was lucky enough to be there for Juno, but this seems to be Jason Reitman’s best film yet.

I will be shocked and upset if (500) Days of Summer doesn't win Best Comedy/Musical

It’s nice to see The Hangover on here, but I doubt it’ll get any recognition outside of the nomination. I would say it will go to (500) Days of Summer. Its quirky style and heart-wrenching story really make it a favourite and it’s easily one of the best films of last year.

My guess here, since I’ve seen none of these pictures is Jeff Bridges. Voters, in this case the Hollywood Foreign Press, seems to love people who can act and sing. Bridges does both in Crazy Heart, and from what I saw on Conan last night, he seems to be quite good at it.

The way early release of Precious may have cooled off any potential win by Gabourey Sidibe. Had this been last September, she would be a lock, but I almost feel that Sandra Bullock has stolen the spotlight from her. She’s had a career year with two major hits, and one major flop, so I have to go with the popular vote on this one.

This one is a hard one. Matt Damon was excellent in The Informant!, but I don’t know if the movie itself will take away from his performance. I’d like to see, and based on that will guess, Joseph Gordon-Levitt win this one. The hopeless romantic in (500) Days of Summer was one who was so pathetic that you should hate him, yet you still liked him. You knew he was setting himself up for heartbreak, but you honestly believe he doesn’t see that himself.

Meryl Streep will end up spliting her own vote, otherwise this would be easy and I would say she’s a lock. Instead it’s between Julia, Marion and Sandra. I’m going to go with Sandra Bullock again. I get the feeling if they give her one award, they have to give her two to make a statement. I’m not sure what that statement is, but that is just how I feel these award shows tend to go.

I’m guessing Jason Reitman & Sheldon Turner will win this one. Mark Boal would be a safe bet, but The Hurt Locker just wasn’t popular enough outside of film critic circles. I wouldn’t be shocked if they gave it to Tarantino, just for the sake of giving it to Tarantino.
